Papa John’s Pizza

I thought the Pizza was just OK until I found out the owner is very anti-​Obama. Now I order it all the time!

Essential fuel for drunk and hungry college students. Upon commencement, you will graduate from Papa John’s pizza slum.

I ordered the pizza on line. The pizza was ready on time. I go into pick it up. I tell her my name and gives me my cc slip for me to sign and slams it on the ledge… ok. that’s fine. bad day? fine.
Me: Could I get some dry roasted peppers?
Employee: (Looks at me with what the heck is that?-look) Do you mean crushed red peppers?
Really, was that necessary?
No point asking for double the toppings either. Same as having single topping.

Ordered pizza at 8, ready 10 minutes later, plus they threw in a free order of cheese sticks — awesome!

This is me putting in an order.
PJ: Thank you for calling Papa John’s. Would you like to try our special two large pizzas for 20 dollars?
Me: Yes! Actually, get I get three for 30 dollars?
PJ: Sure. How many pizzas would you like?
Me: Uh, three, I suppose. One cheese, one Hawaiian, one meat lovers.
PJ: Aight, so three of each?
Okay, at this point, I’m rolling my eyes. I give him my credit card number, but am quiet hesitant.
PJ: Great, that’s going to take 45 minutes.
Me: Oh, by the way, can you get these here at six? I know it’s five, can you just push it back 15 minutes?
PJ: Yish… uh, that’s going to be pretty tough. I might have to enter in your info all over again.
Me: So you can’t just not make my pizza for another ten minutes?
PJ: Uh, dang.
Me: And it’s for a group, so can we get plates, napkins, and some extra garlic sauce in there?
PJ: Uh, dang. I don’t know about that. I’ll have to pull some strings. We’ll see.
I should have waited to tip those suckers 20%. No napkins. No plates. No extra garlic sauce. Oh, and they showed up at 5:40. Idiots. Apparently this guy couldn’t «pull some strings.»
Pizza is pretty standard, better than the other chains, but the lack of competency knocks this place down a few (lot) of notches.

My #1 favorite pizza place on campus. Fast, Cheap, High Quality, with lots of toppings options. Also, with a Daily Card, you can get $ 7 Large pizzas any day, all the time with no delivery fee. Awesome. Can’t beat that.

I would generally agree with Ian S.‘s review about this place. What makes it for me though, is the online ordering convenience. My inane apartment building’s location and security measures do not allow for food delivery. The sheer fact that I can select my pizza options, pay via credit card, get an emailed confirmation, and pick up my pizza in 15 – 20 minutes increases the rating to 3 stars in my book.

Like every other Papa John’s pizza outfit in the universe, they dispense an uniform product which is mostly bread with some sweet tomato sauce, some cheese, and a limited amount of whatever toping you requested for more than you would pay in retrospect after you have eaten it.
Not as greasy as some, but the crust is tasteless and bready.
Pizzas are accompanied by a hot pepper and small jug of hydrogenated garlic-​lard sauce.
